[Asterisk-Users] Semi-OT: Splitting a PRI into two PRI's?

[Martin List-Petersen]

Shouldn't it be possible to pipe the channels for the MAX through the
Asterisk box ?

The whole PRI into Asterisk and a PRI cable from a second port to the
MAX.

I haven't looked much at data calls from Zap to Zap, but it looked like
it was possible.

Kind regards,
Martin List-Petersen
